2. Respect your right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. No matter how different your handicaps may be at this time 3.Encourage honesty and responsibility. Contribute something to society. I remember a get well card painted by a man who had no hands having to use his mouth instead to hold the brush. Some encouragement! What about me? What about you?

City where I live: Washington CountySkills: I worked my way through community college, college, and law school, and served consumers and small businesses as an attorney and state legislator. I am a proven leader, fighting for economic stability and opportunities for all Oregonians.

3 things I will do if I win: 1. All students deserve an excellent public education. I will continue to work on expanding access to early childhood education, funding IDEA, supporting well-rounded education, reducing highstakes testing, and making college more affordable 2. To grow the economy and create jobs, I support workforce training, apprenticeships, and robust infrastructure investments. Too many working families still struggle, so I am fighting for affordable childcare, retirement security, and paid family leave. 3.We must protect our planet for future generations. On the Science Committee, I support protecting clean air and water, reducing carbon emissions, investing in renewable energy technologies, and protecting our oceans.

3 things I will do if I win: 1. My mother is Jewish, but my wife is Arabic. At birth I took my son to temple to be redeemed as part of his Jewish heritage. The Rabbi told me, we don’t redeem half-breeds, because my wife was an Arab and not a descendant of Israel. 2. I asked him, “In the Bible it says that the Jewish nation took money from the temple and sold the nation of Israel to the Assyrians long ago. How do you know the Arabs are not Israel?” Racism seeks to raise one race by lowering that of another. 3.All this hate because my Jewish family could not look at my Arab family as an equal. We could have been friends. Sometimes to change the world it is not about winning, but just being able to stand-up and say there is something wrong with the world.

City where I live: PortlandSkills: My undergraduate degrees are in engineering. I’ve worked in technology. my entire career. I’ve served on the board of Habitat for Humanity; building safe, affordable homes, creating wealth for generations. I am a proven leader who can build things.

3 things I will do if I win:1. Big money in politics influences all other issues. Representatives spend so much time raising money for their next election that they have no time to govern. They rely on lobbyists and super PACs who spend more time writing laws than ‘lawmakers’ do.

2. Our infrastructure and electric grid are dangerously out of date. We can create jobs and vocational training that feeds economic growth. If President Trump is serious about MAGA then we will certainly need scientists and engineers to make it happen.

3.Balance the budget to not burden future generations. We’ve added $20 Trillion to the debt since Reagan, doing nothing to increase the earnings of Americans who will be working when their tax cuts expire and this massive debt needs to be repaid.
